Contact Trio (Germany-Fusion) 1981.Musik

On the more avant-garde end of jazz-rock, Contact Trio were an unusual combo, drawing on the new forms of jazz as developed by Wolfgang Dauner in the 1960's and mixing in a bit of spaciness and ethnic flair, sometimes akin to Dzyan, Giger.Lenz.Marron or Eberhard Weber.

Their debut album DOUBLE FACE was much more restrained and ethnic spiced than their better-known later LP's, which was quite a surprise, as Evert Brettschneider was working in parallel with the prog-fusion band Prosper, where he adopted a more vibrant John McLaughlin style. Their later Japo label releases were moody and schizophrenic, at the darker end of ECM Records genres, with a penchant for experimentation. Especially enjoyable is NEW MARKS, which hints at the later works by Dzyan, with Jüllich's percussion very much in the vein of Peter Giger.

With new drummer Peter Eisold joining in 1980, the mood of the band changed somewhat to a more spiky agile fusion. The live recording from 1983 presents them as a much more aggressive jazz-rock combo.

Eisold went on to Noctett, and formed the trio Blue Box in 1985, along with Rainer Winterschladen and Aloys Kott (albums on Enja), he worked in numerous other projects and also established the drum group Batterie!

Amos Key (Muenchen-Kraut) 1973.Keynotes

A little-known band, of whom we know nothing historically. Amos Key were one of the few early German bands to play a fiery classical rock with such creativity and invention, and even paralleled the excellence of the Italians. Much more so than fellow organ-rock pioneers Sixty Nine, Amos Key owed great debts to Bach, Beethoven and Schumann, adding a heavy Krautrock twist to a music more closely resembling Egg or The Nice, full of angst and weird psychedelic and space-rock touches.

Thomas Molin (keyboards, vocals), Andreas Gross (bass, guitar, vocals), Lutz Ludwig (drums)

Alaska Range (Suiça-Kraut-Single) 1970.Castles in the Air -Daybreak (Sem LP gravado)

An obscure Swiss band formed in the mid-1960's, who are notable as the roots of Tea (bass and drums). They are only of marginal historical interest really, only releasing the one rather amateurish single in 1970. A step aside from normal "beat", a little Grateful Dead inspired (possibly) though also typical of the indie Kraut hard-rock sound of the era, notable mainly for an imaginative flautist who nods the music towards Jethro Tull.

Roland Eggli (drums), Heinz Kleiner (bass), Herbert de Mont (guitar, flute)

Bel Air (Germany-NeoProg) 1984 - Welcome Home

One of the large crop of neo-progressives attempting to emulate the sound of their 1970's forebears. Bel Air are amongst the better examples of the era, and pretty competent if a bit lack-lustre in style, they do however lack the finesse and experimental edge of former comparable acts like Anyone's Daughter.
